CLARENCE DAVIS DAILY NEWS Yup, a video vending machine Barnes Noble all stock videocas-settes between the hardcovers. At Barnes Noble, video proved a little too popular with shoplifters. jThe company moved its video depart-ment away from its Rockefeller Center window and into an area guarded by an electronic security system. Americans are more eager than ever to find fresh programing to feed their VCRs.

Guess who prevents it from being smuggled to a foreign power? "Night Riders" (1939; 57 Another "Mesquiteers" film, this one about a phony Spanish nobleman who's trying to evict earnest homesteadersone of whom turns out to be the Duke da, ha, ha, ha. A word of caution here: There was a low hum in the soundtrack of both features. Hank Wlnnicki THE NEGRO SOLDIER (Spotlite. $19.95) 49 min. V2 Frank Capra's 1943 military recruitment film paints the black soldier, past and present, as an honest, hard-working, admirable character every inch the equal of, say, Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life." if the idea is patronizing, the execution isn't.

Stmt ratings given to feature film on videocassettes do not reflect the original ratings given during the movies' theatrical release. LOVE AND BULLETS (Key. $59.95) 95 min. Notwithstanding the proletarian image that has persistently and unfortunately dogged his career, Charles Bronson has made a number of very worthwhile films. "Love and Bullets" isn't one of them.

This very routine chase caper, set in the Swiss Alps, casts Bronson as a U.S. cop assigned to protect gang moll Jill Ireland from a hitman squad determined to silence her. Even hard-core Bronson fans 'find this one tedious. Jay Maeder THE FALCON AND THE SNOWMAN (Vestron. $79.95) 131 min.

Vt Vicious teen toughs push Linda Blair too far, so she strikes back with a vengeance (and a crossbow!) in this violent, vulgar but relentlessly kinetic junk pic. While "Savage Streets" may be even dumber than the average Blair, it packs in plenty of gratuitous shower scenes showing Linda B. (in all her pudgy glory) lathering her big adolescent breasts plus locker-room cat fights, disco brawls and the oldest-looking high-schoolers ever seen on celluloid, all set to a hot rock score. The Phantom of the Movies Sean Penn (as Andrew Daulton Lee) is great, as usual, but Timothy Hutton (as Christopher Boyce) seems preoccupied.
